Out with the old, in with the new

Cookay Shop look, that is...

It's been almost three years since we launched this online pseudo-shop. What started out as a hobby became a... well, it's still something that keeps me busy. And BUSY, I have been indeed. It had to lay dormant for a while, what with me getting pregnant and all. But it's up and running again. Yey!

What prompted its resurrection? Two words: Christmas Vacation.

Unemployment doesn't seem to suit me. Too much spare time drives me bonkers. So, to while away my time, but not so much that I leave Alex completely in the hands of his yaya, we decided that I go back to school to pursue a second degree. Kept me busy A LOT. But come Christmas vacation and no assignments or projects to keep me preoccupied, I started getting restless again. And the result is this:

A sleeker and more "adult" cookay look. Very, very different from the original. I still kept screen shots of the old Cookay Shop. Tons of hard work went into creating the original site (specially to a Photosho- and-other-internet-stuff illiterate like me). Would be shame to just delete it forever.

Had to contact a boatload of sellers so we'd have tons of things for sale... So if you have time, drop by our "new" site. It's pretty.

Is this karma for stalking all those guys back in college??

I had to stop posting pics of Alex for a while. We got slightly "traumatized" (for lack of a better word) because Alex's ex-yaya, who we had to let go because of thieving, started claiming him for her own. To cut the long story short, this yaya spread the news that she was pregnant and that Alex was her baby.

I was already aware that she posted a picture of Alex on her Friendster account, but it was only after a few weeks after firing her that I decided to check it out. Lo and behold, 30++ pics of Alex was on it and her home page was screaming "Haydn Alexander"... I figured that she got his pics off our computer since we let her naman use it from time to time. Luckily, her username and password was remembered by the pc so I was able to gain access to and delete her account (hehe, drastic pero deleting each photo would have been very tedious).

It was early December when I received a New Friend Request from an unknown person. When I clicked on the name, it was the ex-yaya. And she now has 56 NEW photos of him. Where did she get these? Off my multiply and blogspot accounts! Stalker! There's no way for her to know my about my accounts. And if you google Abi Tan, there'd be a bajillion hits (412,000).

So after ten years, is karma getting back at me for stalking all those "crushables" back in college? Haaaaaay. At least I got this nice pic of Alex off of her Friendster... Haaaaaay na lang ulit.
